Frost and Nixon. Bashir and Princess Diana. The Sex Pistols and Bill Grundy. We’ve seen some incredible meetings of minds in the past 50 years.

And now there’s one more to add to it: Jeremy Corbyn and Gemma Collins. The JC in convo with The GC.

It was only a matter of time for these two great powerhouses to meet, which is exactly what happened on the red carpet at last night’s Pride of Britain awards.

Gemma was caught on camera casually bowling up to the Labour leader - wearing a highly-appropriate red dress - and launched into her epic chat: “What a pleasure it is to meet you!” she says, before adding: “It’s going to be an excellent evening.”

Could she be young Labour’s great new hope for pulling in fans, getting them to vote more more than just reality TV shows where couples are trying to get laid on Balearic islands, or are falling arse-over-tit on an ice-skating competition - as she is currently competing?

“There’s no other way – we’ve got to get our votes out for the lads.”

A reporter at the Pride of Britain awards asked her if she was a fan of Jezza after their encounter: “Well, I know of him, I wouldn’t say I was a fan.”

Oh.

She added: “I might talk to him a bit later.”

We can't wait for this to hit the memoirs - hers and his - of this genre-defining meet-up.

Meanwhile, bookies are now offering 100-1 odds of Gemma Collins becoming a politician.

Coral's John Hill said: “Gemma Collins may be better known for her work on reality TV shows, however, after her meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, she may fancy her hand in politics and although the odds suggest we are unlikely to see her in the Houses of Parliament anytime soon, we have seen some big surprises in politics over the last couple of years."
